WEBSTER CITY The City Council of Webster City Monday night appointed Daniel Ortiz-Hernandez as city manager.
Ortiz-Hernandez was Webster City’s city manager from 2016 to 2018. He will begin his duties at the end of July.
The search for a new city manager has been underway since the resignation of Jeff Sheridan in December 2020. After an unsuccessful search and the fact that there are several communities in Iowa and the Midwest searching for a city manager at this time, city officials decided to pause before starting the search again.
Officials learned that Ortiz-Hernandez and his family wished to return to the Midwest, and so communication was initiated with him concerning the possibility of returning to the position.
